Speedometer starting ABS warning light
My 1995 F-150 (straight six, 4x4 with overdrive) won't turn over. When I turn the key nothing happens. I jumped the solenoid on the fender and it started. I replaced the solenoid but it still would not start. At the same time the odometer and speedometer quit operating and the ABS warning light is on. I checked all the fuses and they were OK. I replaced the VSS on the exterior of the differential. This did nothing. I tested the neutral safety switch plug and it had minimal power to it.
Could it be the neutral safety switch? The truck has about 105,000 miles. Are these two problems related or coincidental?
Also there was no power in the wire from the ignition to the solenoid.
Installed a ancillary starter button to start the truck but when the truck is running I now get a check engine light and hard shifts of the automatic transmission.

I have the exact same problem on my 5.0. I replaced VSS, Neutral Safety Switch, and solenoid. When I pull codes it still shows the NSS but I cant think of what else to do..

Behind glove box is abs controller unplug this. If no change pick up a cluster at jy for 25 to 50. This has to be problem area as problem started when speedo stopped working. Still no fix dig into ignition switch on column.

Did they do a KOEO and KOER test? Just for info, the speedo/odo still doesn't work? Are there any other electronics that don't work (radio, interior light). Even if the fuses show good the connections could be bad or corroded or something or the wires on one or both sides of the fuse could be bad. The speedo not working and the hard shifts could be related. Whenever I blow fuse 8(IIRC) My speedo/odo stops working and I get hard shifts.
